India will unveil its first indigenous GPU prototype by the end of 2025, marking a leap in semiconductor self-reliance. Developed by C-DAC, the "1xK" GPGPU will serve as a proof of concept, with 29 units initially produced.

🔹 Key Features:
- Encrypted block design, ensuring IP security within India.
- Development of support IPs like USB, memory controllers, and peripherals.

🔹 Strategic Importance:
- Reduces dependency on foreign chip designs, enhancing technological sovereignty.
- Aligns with the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and AI infrastructure development.

🔹 Future Goals:
- Scale production post-successful prototype tests.
- Domestic fabrication planned by 2030 for mass production.

Tim Friede the Venom Man.

Salute to this man 🫡.

IIT Guwahati researchers have developed a fluorescent sensor that detects cyanide in water and human cells using UV light. Unlike traditional sensors, this exhibits a turn-on response, brightening in the presence of cyanide. The weak blue fluorescence shifts to cyan due to a chemical reaction, ensuring high specificity.

Applications
✅ Water Safety – Detects cyanide in river/tap water with 75-93% accuracy.
🔬 Forensics – Helps in crime investigations and poison detection.
🩺 Medical Imaging – Works in live breast cancer cells.

Scientific Validation
📖 Published in *Spectrochimica Acta Part A*.
⚙️ Detection limit: 0.2 μM, below the WHO’s 1.9 μM limit.
🔍 DFT calculations confirm sensing precision.

Future Prospects
🚀 Smart sensor integration and portable test kits for broader use.

Microsoft Build 2025: Windows 11 to Get MCP Support for AI Agents

Microsoft is bringing MCP support to Windows 11 to enable secure AI agents on the platform.

MCP is an open standard that allows AI models to interact with external data, API, or services.

The goal is to make Windows 11 an agentic OS. Initially, it will be available to developers for feedback purposes only.
